I've been trying to take it easy this past week as contractions have increased. I've also been feeling some pressure 'down there' and some cramping after I use the ladies room to go pee pee. (Yes, pee pee. PEE is not the most feminine or classy of words; pee pee at least sounds a little nicer. Lol)
Last night at 10:30pm I was hungry and craving carbs; specifically bread. We were all out and I was left snaking on fruits and nuts. My dear husband offered to go out and get me some bread; my good hubby :) Refusing to have him head out so late just for bread, we ended up negotiating on a Tim Hortons bagel. Lol He was adamant he get me bread and I was adamant he not go to the store so late just for me.
Let me say, that bagel hit just the right spot as I was able to sleep quite soundly last night after indulging. Ha ha
This morning my dad took Nya to the park for me for an hour so I could get my nails done. I didn't have time to get them done last night and tonight is church, so I wanted to go today before it was too late. By too late I mean, no time tomorrow or the weekend to get them done and I wanted to make sure they were pretty and nice for when I go into labour; whenever that time may be.
My dad laughed at me when I told him why I wanted my nails done. 'Devin, who are you trying to impress at the hospital having a baby!' he said with a chuckle. 'Me!' I replied. It's about looking good and feeling good. Plus, I still want to look pretty for my husband. :) And I have to admit, its for picture sake too. Lol
Someone once showed me a close up picutre of them holding a newborn baby and one of the first things I noticed was horribly chipped nails. Lol It screamed out from the picture. Bright blue, chipped polish!! Yikes!! Lol
The nail salon I go to is wonderful; I've been a regular there for a few years now. I hadn't been in a long time prior to being pregnant with Sweet Pea, but have made a few trips back there the last three months.
They've always treated me very well, but being pregnant, I've been treated even better! He he Pregnancy perk! Lol
Today, with my mask in hand of course, I was happily greeted at the door by the owner. 'Oh my!! You're ready to go anytime now aren't you!' he said with a smile. I don't know if he just remembered or if it was the extremely slow wobble walk I had as I walked into the salon (I was feeling major pressure walking from my car to the salon.)
They immediately sat me in a massage chair and gave me the colour wheel of polish to choose from.
I was getting quite warm in the salon and began to fan myself; something the owner noticed and kindly tended to right away for me. 'You're hot!!' he said 'Let me turn this fan on you. My job is to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed'. What a sweet gesture :) I made sure to ask the other ladies beside me if they minded as I knew the fan would be blowing on them as well. They all kindly said 'no problem!!!'.
I picked a gorgeous, rich, deep coral for my nails and a cute little detail pattern on my big toes in white, black and silver. My technician, who also happened to be pregnant, blessed me with little diamonds as the centre of my flowers at no extra cost. I thought that was really kind.
She had complimented my diamond sandals earlier and I said 'I love bling'. She must had remembered and wanted to 'bling' out my toes as well :) he he
After picking Nya up from the park with my dad and heading back to my home, I started to get really strong cramping. My plan was to head to Bath and Body works and take advantage of their 75% off sale (oh yes!! It's the most wonderful time of the year!! Lol) but I didn't think it was a good idea to be on my feet and walking around feeling as I was feeling.
My dad looked at me and said 'She's coming soon!!!! Maybe for Nya's party on Saturday!!'. I quickly chirpped in 'No, no, no!!! Not before Nya's party and not on Nya's birthday!!'. Lol
I'm adamant and sticking it out by faith that I last until after the 28th.
I'm fortunate to have one of the girls from my church coming over tomorrow (who happens to be in school for baking arts - bonus!!) to help me bake for Nya's party on Saturday. I could use the extra hands and help, and I'm not one to ever turn away fellowship :) I'm excited. She'll be a blessing as I don't want to over due it and push myself too much.
So, stay tuned. If you don't see a post from me in a few days, you can assume I've gone into labour and had the baby! Lol
In the meantime, I will be keeping up to date posts on my progress as I draw near to D-day :D
Here are my pretty D-day nails; blinged out and all :) he he
